Hey everyone.

First, if anyone here knew Ed Elric, he's left us for home. He was my lab partner and friend for the last few months, and I'm going to miss him.

Second: this cold isn't exactly the best environment for plant growth, but plants are an important food group for most of us. I've brought some spectrum lamps for plant growth back from Hydroponics on the base, along with some I built myself. There should be enough to power a small indoor agriculture operation for a while, and I'm working on more with my limited supplies.

Third: I'm also working on compact heaters if any of you ended up in unheated residences. The process is slow without supplies or collaborators, but if current progress holds, five should be ready within the week.

I saw the domes they grew their crops in. It was only a brief visit, but it was impressive. [To someone who knows nothing of indoor agriculture.]

[oncearanger]

I'll have to see them too. Do you remember where?

[ready_to_bloom]

Yes. [The scouting mission was helpful in many ways, and Caspian was lucky to have made different contacts with the locals. So he gives Billy directions, and a name of a woman to ask for.] She seemed very knowledgeable about their farming, and I admit, it is not something I am familiar with in practice, so I am not much good for asking questions.

I'll have to ask her, then. Thank you.
